You should first get it notarized by the local notary public and the court, and then submit the degree and its translation to Ministry of Foreign Affairs of your country; and then go to the embassy of China to get that attested.

Yes, you need to apply for a business M type or a tourist L type for that trip. A single entry would be fine.

Single or Multiply entrance

I want to visit China this summer. For the Visa application however, I need to know if I will need a single or multi-entry. The reason for this is because I will like to travel to other countries nearby China (from China) and then fly in to China again. Will I need Multi- or Single entry?
